Don't Ask Me Why...

...there are two scooters inside by the front door,



and why the trash can is next to them.

Don't ask me why when I go looking for the broom, I find it here:


Oh, look... THIS must be why.





"It's a neighborhood, Mom" they say.


Well, sounds like a plan to me.

Laundry and Ice Cream

My children do not like to do laundry. I know what you are thinking... "What? My children love to do laundry. Well, goodie for you! I don't like to do laundry, can your children come and do mine? he, he... =) Point is, they do it and usually with a joyful heart but I know deep down, they don't like it. Don't tell them I don't like it though, because that would ruin everything!

Anyway, the other day I was wanting an ice cream. Now, my children DO like ice cream but I don't always like to share; especially when it is my last drumstick. So, needing to do laundry and noticing the children were all playing sweetly in the school room I say "Hey guys... I'm going downstairs to do some laundry." Little did they know, I had an ice cream in my hand.

But they weren't about to come walking down there in fear that I might say, "Hi, lets do this together." =)


It sure was a good cone.

Maurice Bradley...

...is the name of a guy I picked up the other day. Normally, I don't mention the people I help but this guy had a great story to be shared. Well, they all have a great story... this man's just so happened to also be on the internet. He had just been released from the Christian County Jail and was headed to Springfield to catch a bus home to St. Louis. While driving he shared his life with me and told me about this video he had made to help bring awareness of the effects of heroin. http://hairkuttthemovie.com/

He is the one talking on the clip. It's great to see he is trying to make a difference. If you have Netflix, you should rent it. You could also pray for Maurice, that he would continue to make good choices, giving God the glory.
